Reading the comparison
The comparison shows what your budget typically buys in each sub-market. The property types are rough benchmarks, not predictions about any specific listing. In reality, you'll find variation within each sub-market based on age, condition, specific block, and how long a property has been listed.
The LTT saving shown is the approximate difference between what you'd pay in land transfer taxes buying in Toronto (Ontario provincial LTT plus Toronto MLTT) versus buying in Mississauga (Ontario provincial LTT only). At $800,000, this saving is approximately $11,000 to $14,000 [verify current figures with a licensed agent or at realtor.ca]. It's real money that affects your total closing cost.
Use this tool to calibrate your thinking, then use the buyer guide for the detailed LTT breakdown and the full purchase process.
